manike do you have access to a wire edm? I have some stuff I'm working on that would pretty much require it.

[manike]

hhm not really. What are you trying to do? Thin sharp detail?

Cutouts with high detail over the power chamber. Wire edm would be prefect, but if I lover the detail a bit it would be millable. I'm just wondering so I can get the angle right. I was thinking of mirroring and making the cut through the center axis (trivial on a wire edm). Instead I'll make the cuts from the side straight on, which will be easier for a mill.

The jig I am designing will allow us to mill the bodies from above as well, not just both sides.

How about instead of designs being milled into the body of a mag, they be lazer ingraved?

This may not get rid of much weight but I suppose the designs could be a lot more intricate and detailed. Maybe a combination of the two would mean lightweight nice designs.

Sorry to bring up an OLD thread.

I had a project going that requred drawing up an Xmag. Project was cancelled and so I stopped.

Heres a Xmag drawn up in pro/e. Its rough, not everything is perfect and the demensions are off, but the ratio is there. Oh yeh... And a few hadn't gotten to a few things, like the angled cut on the front lower section.

Just thought I'd post it incase anyone needs it for anything:).

If AGD cares, feel free to take it down, although I dont see why you would.

BTW, the main hole is small because I was just using it as an axis and was going to take the specs off a slug for the insides.

Hm, wasn't thinking... file type isn't supported. If you want it email me, [email protected] or I'll see about zipping it.

.prt but can export to others

Simon;

You could get the sharp jagged cuts on that one design if you used a wire-edm machine. I know it's another opration, and a pain, but the design isn't out of the question.
